Nostalgia

Post Reply New Topic

How often do you guys miss the past? Last night was the first time, in a long time, I genuinely felt nostalgic. I have no idea why, I randomly remembered something from a few years ago and suddenly started to remember a lot of other different things that happened in my life. My memories ranged from when I was 5 to more recent times, like last year. I miss my sophomore year of highschool, New Year's Eve 2012, going to my aunt's house every Saturday when I was little, and many other things. I'm only 17 as of now, and yet, I feel like an 80-year-old reflecting back on life

None. 2005-2010 is inaccessible, and anything before 2005 I just can't remember.

Studying my own past is a special interest of mine, bringing back memories and understanding what went on. I'm fascinated by finding books, songs, or whatever that I haven't read, heard, or whatever since that time in the past. When I expose myself to them again, they can unlock a lot of memories I didn't know I had. These experiences are rare, but interesting when they happen.

I've been really nostalgic recently. I just started designing a whole comic based on when I lived in Connecticut a long time ago. I've also been revisiting a lot of movies and TV shows I grew up with (my avatar is an obscure reference to Thomas the Tank Engine).

Nostalgia for video games, yes. But not for much else. I have too many bad memories to be able to look back fondly at my life.

No nostalgia for elementary/middle school

But I do the prior years of high school. The good old days, before most of my friends ran off and graduated.

Nostalgia isn't like it used to be.

I feel nostelgic all the time
